WJM, go to the broken image, copy the URL and paste it in another browse page. You will see it, and it will be fixed for you. It happened to me like that.

Why is Nathan Fillion the number one answer, not that he isn' awesome, he just reminds me more of a maybe Fix, or Michael (he has his own subtle snark which is why he is awesome)

Okay, I haven't even seen anything this guy is in and he looks like a villain to me.

Why is Nathan Fillion the number one answer
Because he can play smart-ass, and he can also play hard-ass, and he does both rather well. He's also decently tall, has the coloring for it, and is good looking without being a pretty boy. And he looks good in long coats.
I see Michael as shorter and a bit broader at the shoulders. I also think it would take a special kind of talent to be that righteous without being irritating. Perhaps Nathan could do it, but I think he's much better suited to a more... light-hearted character, for lack of a better term. (Not that Harry is never serious, just that he's serious in a different way than Michael is.)

I always pegged Harry as being thinner than NF.  The man is muscled, which in any other role would be a boon, but Harry is more...beanstalk than tree.

An excellent point, but it's always possible (even easy) to take muscle off. And Fillion was fairly skinny when he was younger.
The beanstalk thing is why David Tennant is probably my new favorite when I picture Harry, but I still think Nathan could have played him brilliantly.

I like Tennant a lot, but I still think Blackthorne was a great choice, almost perfect.

Not sure if anyone has cast her yet, but I think Tricia Helfer as Lara would be Perfect.

True, the woman just radiates sex appeal.  She could probably pull off Lara quite well.

I hope you meant Mab.  I was thinking she could be either.  But I'd prefer her as Lara  ;D

On another note, I'd cast Jessica Biel as Molly...



I think she'd do a good rag lady too.

I've thought of Tricia Helfer as several roles, but never Lara.  If I remember, she's supposed to exude sex, but she's not supposed to look artificial or Hollywood. 

I was thinking a Tricia Helfer/Jeri Ryan combo as Mab/Titania.

I pictured Lara as more like Olivia Wilde.  Maybe not Olivia Wilde, but like Olivia Wilde.  But Olivia Wilde will do in a pinch, I suppose.
